Grad Plus

The Federal GRAD PLUS Loans are federally funded for a graduate/professional student borrowing a PLUS loan for his/her own education. Grad PLUS loan terms are the same as the parents loan. Graduate students are eligible for an in-school deferment until their status changes to less than half-time.

The Grad PLUS loan available for graduate/professional students is a fixed rate of 8.5%. The PLUS MPN addendum contains important information about the Grad PLUS loan for graduate/professional students.

To begin the pre-approval process and complete or E-sign your GRAD PLUS MPN,
